Hi Nancy,

 RH> Seems to be a good deal, reserved a car for the time we're out there

 NB> I guess you'll find out when you get there.... :)

That we will! I made a big pot of turkey soup when Robert was born;
Rachel really liked that. My sister was about to throw out the
Thanksgiving turkey with a fair amount of meat on it so I asked if I
could take it. She said yes so it went into the soup pot.

 NB>  NB>> Hopefully there wil be others going... for the young lady's sake

 RH> Turns out the graduation is after Steve's appointment and he thinks he

 RH> parking space.

 NB> It wouldn't hurt.  :)   Of course, if he has driving clearance he
 NB> might find it more comfortable to drive, but carpooling might still be
 NB> a good idea, no matter who is driving... :)

We'll see--have to find out who else is going.

 NB> staff  RH>> takes her there. That's one less major worry for him. He

 NB>  NB>> Got it installed in good time, then...  :)  I'm not surprised

"Try it, you'll like it."


 RH> eat down their freezers but with just him, it's taking much longer. He
 RH> said he won't buy from the meat salesman again tho--good idea so he can
 RH> get just what he wants, when he needs.

 NB> Probably will take a while... :)   And he has an understandable reason
 NB> for the meat salesman, too, that now it's just him going to be eating,
 NB> so he really can't use the quantity any more...  Like when MJ was

 NB> any  more.  :)

Makes sense in the long run. I could somewhat see them getting stuff
while Mom was home but not as much as they did. The advantage of a lot
of what they got is that it's portion controlled and fairly easy to
cook. Disadvantage is that it cost so much more than the grocery stores
charge, even in that area.


 RH> Agreed, I use it in some of my sewing projects, prefer other closures
 RH> for different projects. I use it on the diaper bags

 NB> Velcro is nice for adjustable closings, and easy-open easy-close
 NB> applications... :)

 RH> but want to experiment with Kam-snaps.

 NB> What are they?  (I should probably know, but it's been a while..)

I't a brand name of a plastic snap. They're available on the retail
market now; Deborah introduced us to them a couple of years ago. I'm
still experimenting with them for various uses but she's got some diaper
covers that use them.
